‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 25 Premiere Recap: See the Week 1 Rankings! (Spoilers)
Dancing With the Stars kicked off its 25th anniversary season with a bang on Monday! Before hitting the ballroom to compete, the 13 celeb contestants and their pro partners took to the streets for a big choreographed number by Mandy Moore — no, not that Mandy Moore — set to (what else?) “Dancing in the Street.”
From there, they jumped right into the competition, with each couple taking a spin around the floor for their first dance. Take a look at the week one rankings below to see how each pair performed! (The rankings below are based solely on scores from Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli, but as DWTS fans know, eliminations are based on a combination of scores and votes, so get to voting for your favorite pair.)
